Costume Quest 2: Double Fine's Sequel Arriving Halloween 2014

“I saw [a sequel] more as a demand,” Double Fine’s Tim Schafer told IGN. “I don’t know that I had much choice in the matter.” Costume Quest 2 is in full production now, and “got up and running really fast.”

“It is that game, you can’t slip that schedule,” Schafer explained. “It’s the kind of game you always want to revisit, there’s such a great core to it.”

Double Fine’s first-ever sequel features an improved battle system, “deeper and juicier,” Schafer said. Returning heroes Wren and Reynold will have a “new batch of costumes with which to transform into giant super powered fantasy Hallowarriors,” according to publisher Midnight City.
